AYAC today opened applications for the Commonwealth Youth Forum to be held in Western Australia from October 23-27 for young people 18 – 29 years.
30 young people from all walks of life, and from all across the country will be chosen to represent Australia at the forum with young attendees from other Commonwealth nations. The Forum is an important part of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and gives Australian young people the opportunity share their views at an international level. It also provides an excellent learning opportunity about the Commonwealth and the chance to develop new skills.

Advocates for young and vulnerable Australians are optimistic after the federal government announced an increase of $4 a week to people on Newstart and Youth Allowance.
Executive Director of the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition, Andrew Cummings is campaigning for an increase for people on the lowest benefit schemes.
He said he was pleased that this year’s federal budget recognised that Newstart and Youth Allowance provide too little to live on.
